Amakapabo, Boboye and Ogbeide battle for LBA Manager of the month

The
League Bloggers Awards (LBA) have named its nominees to vie for the Player and
Manager awards for the month of April in the Nigeria Professional Football
League (NPFL).

The
top-flight performance of the managers and players for their various clubs
produced a neck and neck race for the month under review which led to carefully
going through the figures to reach the eight shortlists.

Four
coaches are in the running for the April Manager award. Rangers gaffer, Imama
Amapakabo, makes the nominees for the second month on the spin and will have to
compete for the award with Kennedy Boboye of Abia Warriors, Solomon Ogbeide of
Sunshine Stars and Ard Sluis of Warri Wolves.

The
players' category is dominated by attacking players. Three of them, Okiki
Afolabi (Sunshine Stars), Anthony Oussou (Heartland) and Chinonso Okonkwo
(Rivers United), are the strikers among the quartet.

Nasarawa
United's Esosa Igbinoba completes the shortlist for the April player contest as
the only midfielder in the running.
